Ha, I keep coming back to this video. I am in the works of getting a GS and already have a C+. I will maybe soon get a PC Transporter. What are the 5.2 Floppies for DOS, and how do you tell the device which floppies are apple// and which are DOS?
@BansheeFriend It sold a few weeks after I posted this video to someone in Korea, I think? It was to one of these ebay brokers who allow international buyers to purchase from US only auctions. I, unfirtunately, don't have a clear idea as to who the purchaser actually was.
Nice vid. My old GS ran a 20mb internal HDD. I think it was an Applied Engineernig one. It make GS/OS boot pretty quickly. Sorry to say last time I treid to use the old GS it wouldn't boot up. Worked fine from a floppy so I guess the HDD expired. I would have loved more RAM and a ZIP chip back in the day! 8mhz would have been fun!
@MacintoshPlus1MB This is an Apple ][gs we are talking about here. Think of this video as a tribute to the epic loading times that the Apple ][gs blessed us with!
@rwgomez I know, but it was at night and my internet connection wasn't very good. sorry. it was just youtube or something because now I don't have to wait....
Awesome! I'd never actually seen a PC Transporter up and running and that version of Kraftwerk's 'Homecomputer' is brilliant! Love that towering stack of disk drives too!
I love these cross platform cards, I like to run CP/M on my IIe with the z80 card. CP/M games are hard to come by however.

can it run Windows 3.1?

@BansheeFriend I doubt it. I think I only ever managed to get a few early Sierra adventure games running on it. Maybe windows 1.0.

@rwgomez Go For It Man! I can send you a Windows 1.1 Image.

That's a huge stack of floppy drives!
Thanks for showing this off. I always wanted to get a PC transporter for my Apple back in the day, but was never sure how it would work. Good stuff.

Awesome, although likely the most interesting part was the fact it acted as a RAMdisk when not running DOS.
